He can do what he likes...but he is and was the useful idiot and now he is trying to silence someone he disagrees with...why do you hate the 1A? You obviously support hogg..and what he is doing.
Chuck seems to believe the First Amendment only applies to Laura Ingraham and her rightwing buddies. Not to David Hogg, and not to the companies shelling out big bucks to advertise. Nope, no First Amendment for them.
Unfortunately for MongooseHugger, your list means nothing, and will achieve nothing.
David Hogg, the kid who you love to hate on, achieved a lot with his lists. He got major companies to stop advertising on a Fox News show. He got major companies to rethink their partnerships with the NRA. He got you talking about him, infuriated by his actions. He even got you riled up enough to put together your own lists.
The difference is, David Hogg is not talking about you, he has no clue who you are. No advertisers are looking at your list. The only effect that your list will have is that we have to scroll down further to get to the next post.
Wow, just looked at what your list is trying to be. You want people to boycott companies that supported kids marching to feel safer in schools, and the Southern Poverty Law Center? Good luck with that.
Did these companies stop advertising because they agree with Hogg, or was it because they dont want to get caught up in all this mess? These are two very different things. You may also notice that a lot of companies who advertise on Fox also advertise on CNN, MSNBC, etc.
I'd lean more towards pulling ads to step away from the fight but people are assuming there was a political statement implied by pulling those ads.
The same goes with the NRA ads. It's far better for brand/reputation management to steer clear of a fight rather than wade into the mess.
Obviously, some companies will take a side, as is their right.
Apparently their convictions are not very strong, then, if they are choosing to pull out rather than continue to support her show. As is their right. .
It's not their convictions, it the continued pounding that the SWJs give the companies.... saying things that may or may not be true, it does not matter to them....just as long as they silence them...

They agree with her, or they would not be there. If they pull out, it's not because or her, it's because of all the negativity the SJWs provide...

Again, Business 101. .
The only nerve he touched is have not having an honest path forward...just scream NRA...BLOOD...NRA...BLOOD.....

His choice or be berated by the SJWs for who knows how long...

Agreed. Companies' management sees the mood of the country and reacts accordingly. And increasingly, Americans are sick to death of all of the gun violence, so they are going to attempt to be on the right side of history here, no matter what they may feel personally. It's just good business sense.
And the tide is turning on this issue at last, thanks in large part to Hogg. So kudos to him for doing what no one before him had managed to date. It's an issue that is ripe now. The speed at which companies respond to this type of thing attests to that truth.

Jams think to see it's o.k. to shut people down because of what they speak....
hogg wants laura to stop talking, so he wants all his SJWs to jump in the boycott band wagon and have all the sponsor pull out so there is no more laura....

Who is shutting you down, chuck? You are speaking your mind quite freely here. As is Ingraham. She might not like the consequences of speaking freely, but that's another issue altogether.

If people didn't agree with Hogg these sponsors wouldn't care what he said. The point is, people do agree with Hogg. That's what these sponsors are responding to.

Sad that you cannot grasp such simple concepts, but like you said, not unexpected.
If the social justice Nazis would just stop assuming everyone else is as messed up and ignorant as they are, we could at least have a real dialogue. But they're chomping at the bit for authoritarianism and a clamp down of human rights.

If she has no sponsors because of the boycott and the SJWs...how can she speak freely?

No, the sponsor are being beat up (figuratively) because they support laura or they would not be here in the first place.

They do, why do you think laura lost sponsors last time?

Then why did sponsors leave last time, was it because what laura said or was it because hogg threw them under the bus and boycott boycott boycott.....? Be honest with yourself (if that is all possible) when you answer because the sponsors were there far before hogg ever shown up....
